Red Gate-Created Promotional Video for University of Toronto Helps Spread a Pandemic of Health

Red Gate International created a powerful 8-minute promotional video shown at the opening of the Global Health Equity and Innovation Summit, a major international health conference of the Dalla Lana School of Public Health (DLSPH) held in November 2014 at the University of Toronto.

The video showcased DLSPH’s place at the forefront of global health research, highlighting its distinguished history and contemporary role at the head of an irresistible movement of positive change in the field of global public health.

Red Gate produced the video with the aim of supporting DLSPH’s mission to create and spread a global “pandemic of health” through innovation and change the conversation around how we define public health.

Red Gate has long played a supporting role for the University of Toronto’s Dalla Lana School of Public Health, providing multimedia products that promote the school and its leadership in advancing global health initiatives, research, scholarship and training.

Red Gate’s video advances the core message of the Summit about spreading a pandemic of health through innovation and features exclusive interviews with renowned international public health leaders, including prominent school faculty, scientists, researchers and advisers. Filmed on location at the school’s state-of-the art research and educational facilities, the video showcases the significant impact of the school, which was founded in 1927 as the University of Toronto School of Hygiene and in 2013 became a faculty at the university.

As shown in the video, DLSPH has been at the forefront of the discovery and development of modern medicines, from vaccines to antibiotics and antitoxins. This included the discovery of insulin in 1921 and the development of vaccinations for many infectious diseases such as diphtheria, poliomyelitis and meningitis. In 1923, scientists of the school’s Connaught Laboratories were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of insulin, a major medical achievement of the University of Toronto.
